Crossover Cover: The Gonky Mob Copycat Crimes

Brian
O’Brien (aka the Clock) forbids his young female sidekick Butch to
accompany him on an investigation. Butch goads him by saying, “I
should have teamed up with the Spirit—HE’D appreciate me!”
O’Brien responds “The Spirit—bah!” The
Clock, originally published by Centaur, was the first original masked
hero to appear in comic books, and is more “pulpish” than many of
those who followed him. The reference to the Spirit brings him into
the CU. This story originally ran untitled; I have used the title
given on the Grand
Comics Database website.
